George Whitefield: God's Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century

Information on George Whitefield from the publisher:

By age 26, George Whitefield was considered "the most brilliant and popular preacher the modern world has ever known". In the wake of his preaching, revival swept across the British Isles to America. This is his story.

Description of Arnold A. Dallimore, author of George Whitefield:

Dallimore's two-volume work on George Whitefield received critical praise and popular acceptance and is here condensed into one magnificent volume. This is a study of one of the most powerful preacher's of the 18th century. Unparalleled in his speaking ability and zeal, George Whitefield's life has been discribed as a consumming fire that burned without end. In the wake of his preaching, revival swept across the British Isles, and the Great Awakening transformed the American colonies. His hearers included such men as Benjamin Franklin and David Hume. Whitefield, a founder of Methodism, yielded his leadership to John Wesley rather than risking the split of the movement, thus revealing his fervent commitment to the Gospel of Christ rather than his personal hopes or plans. Arnold A. Dallimore was a Baptist pastor for 38 years and has also been editor of THE EVANGELICAL BAPTIST. He has written other biographies on Christian leaders of the past.
